When the Radiation Research Building was blessed by Father Theodore Hesburgh during its dedication on September 1, 1963, then-Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) Glenn Seaborg heralded the new laboratory as the nation’s foremost center for the production of scientists in the highly specialized…
A transatlantic effort is transforming cancer research and care. The University of Notre Dame's Harper Cancer Research Institute is conducting collaborative, cutting-edge research with the University of Galway's Cancer Centre. The initiative is aptly titled Biseach — an Irish word meaning “to heal,…
At 10 one-millionths of a meter wide, a single human cell is tiny. But something even smaller exerts an enormous influence on everything a cell does: proton concentration, or pH. On the microscopic level, pH-dependent structures regulate cell movement and division. Altered pH response can accelerate…
BELS, which is a joint initiative of Notre Dame’s College of Engineering and College of Science and a key priority in the University’s strategic framework, supports research that applies engineering principles to biological systems. The BELS Initiative works to create new technologies and approaches to the detection, prevention, and treatment of disease.
A breakthrough by researchers at the University of Notre Dame has uncovered a crucial step in the life of a protein that may determine whether it works properly or instead ends up misfolded and non-functional. Their findings reveal a surprising race at the heart of protein folding, and offer new hope…
